A local dealer in my town has a 2004 Competition Orange MACH 1 for $23,850. It has everything, only 8.575 miles on it.
-OR-
Order my 2005 Yellow Mustang GT Deluxe for $25,000 PLUS

I need some advise here..............what do I do? :scratch:

The only down side to the MACH 1 is it is a manual, and If I order an '05 it will be auto cause I drive in traffic a lot.

Please HELP!!!!!!! :bang: I am going crazy here.........

I'd go for the 05 GT any day of the week!!

If you drive in that much traffic, definitely worth paying a extra for the 05, not to mention all the other benefits that come with the 05!

With driving in traffic alot, you will want the automatic and the better build quality and comfort of the 05. Having a quiet car to drive in versus a car that rattles and such makes a big difference in the commute.

you'll probably be kicking yourself the minute you see a 2005 GT on the street, wait it out, in all likelyhood the Mach1 will still be on the lot

05 for sure.... dont sell yourself short....

Get the '05. :drive:

I like the deep rumbble sound of the dual exhaust though? Will I get that with the '05 GT?
I have an manual now, and it is a pain everyday....but for a MACH 1 I think I would be able to handle it.
I am so torn here :cry: :cry: :cry: I have never seen the '05 in person, and I dont want any regrets either.......

hmm...
this one is one hard decision!
i'm going towards the mach 1, just because its a mach 1, but then again, the '05 will be brand spanking new with better everything, and an automatic that you want.

its hard, but go with the 05.

:lucky: -_-

Lalo

oh yea, it has a beautiful rumble. there were some videos on how it sounded on this board. i'll look for them and then post them.

Galaxie

Go and see it in person, that will your decision very easy.

There is no way I would buy an '04 after seeing the 2005 three different times

From the sounds we have heard on people taking video of the 05 GT, I don't think you will regret the sound, plus you can always change the mufflers on it!!!

I love Mach 1s, they're great little cars and they have tons of power, BUT the 05 GT is a huge leap ahead of the Mach 1 in interior refinement (and from what I've read, driving dynamics). I have a redfire '03 GT convertible premium,--it was nearly $33,000. And it pains me to say this, but compared to the 05 GT, my '03 is just cheap inside--the same will be true of the Mach 1. If you spend a lot of time in your car, I think you'd prefer the more comfortable seats of the 05 (they are awesome!!!!!), the huge leap forward in interior quality, and the fabulous good looks of the 05.

WOW...........thanks everyone. I will have to think about it, but you all have made very good points about the interior upgrades and everything. The only down side of the '05 mustang GT is that I have to wait so long to get one. ( 8-12 weeks)......allthough I am told it is well worth the wait..........my head is not spinning as much now....
I would like to hear that video of the '05 if anyone has access to it.

The Mach 1 price sounds kinda high to me.

1970Bird

Too bad the video isn't up anymore, the 05 sounds great....

EleanorsMine

Orange?
Manual?
No contest.

(Of course it has to have DC interior)

Lalo

finally found a video that was posted before. it starts off showing other cars, but by 3 quarters of it you can hear the car. its an amazing sound

mustang video
